About

Overview

Artificial Intelligence and Data Science is a new branch of study that deals with scientific methodologies, processes, and techniques drawn from different domains like statistics, cognitive science, and computing and information science to extract knowledge from structured data and unstructured data.

This knowledge is applied in making various intelligent decisions in business applications. Artificial Intelligence and data science engineering focus on collect ing, categorizing, strategizing, analyzing and interpreting data. It is a specialized branch that deals with the development of data-driven solutions, data visualization tools and techniques to analyze big data. It also incorporates the concepts of machine learning and deep learning model building for solving various computational and real-world problems.
